Is there another possible way to activate my bdo online acct except to send the enrollment form to the BDO branch where I get my Kabayan Savings? Im currently here in Qatar. Thank you!
Hi Michelle: Have you enrolled already? If not yet, when you enroll, click "Outside the Philippines". Later on, somebody from BDO will call you and verify information that you provided online. If you already enrolled and you clicked "Within the Philippines," wait for your activation period to expire, then enroll again, and click "Outside the Philippines"
